Not so sure that would be true; the mile split on that race was 137:3, which means Cordero got a 28:1 breather, and remember, Slew ran against a rabbit, plus Affirmed's saddle slipped, making for that pace. Smarty may have been able to stalk him.
This is all apples & oranges, as Slew was a 4yo at the time, and we will not know until the fall, if at all, how Smarty does with older horse.
BTW, Dr. Fager, at level weights, would eat them all for lunch.
